Google Hates CNet for Google Searching About Google
Posted by Edwin Soto Categories: Corporate News, Internet
Is Google > CNet? The search engine giant blackballed CNet reporters after the network reported privacy concerns for those being searched. Google's CEO, Eric Schmidt, was searched on Google to prove a privacy point. His salary, neighborhood, and even political donations were publicly displayed. Google's answer: don't talk to CNet for a year. Seems a bit childish to give the silent treatment for something that is publicly available. I mean, if I can't use Google to search all of my old girlfriends, I'm going back to Yahoo! Well, at least for one year.

Windows Genuine Validation Cracked – Again
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Corporate News, Mods / Hacks, Software
Microsoft just can't get around software hackers in their latest attempt to cut down pirated Windows XP users – Genuine Windows Validation. Early last week Microsoft "fixed" the Genuine Windows Validation exploit. Now the new and updated validation service has been hacked yet again. Maybe Microsoft should start hiring these hackers, since it takes Microsoft days or more to fix their exploits, while hackers only need a day to come up with a work around.

Copy-Protected and iPod-Incompatible CDs Still Selling Nicely
Posted by Alex Grahmann Categories: Corporate News, Music, Portable Audio / Video
Reuters is reporting via the Washington Post that despite being incompatible with the 30 million iPods in the US, copy-protected CDs by the Foo Fighters and Dave Matthews band are continuing to sell extremely well. The CDs, put out by Sony BMG, are designed to restrict owners to burning only 3 exact copies of the albums, and then only into Microsoft's Windows Media format. The copy-protection also prohibits the music files from being transferred to an iPod, due to licensing clashes with Apple's Fairplay software and Windows. While both the albums, and others like it, are available in iPod-compatible digital forms on Apple's iTunes service, this hasn't appeased fans who like to own a physical disc from which to rip the songs.
The best part of the Reuters' article comes at the end where Sony BMG advises disgruntled users to rip the songs from the CD, burn them back to a blank CD, and then rip them again in an iPod-friendly format. I always like to see big companies encouraging us to work around security and copyright-protection.

Sony Pays for Inventing Fake Movie Critic
Posted by Alex Grahmann Categories: Corporate News, Movies
Sony will end up paying over $1.5 million to theater-goers for advertising movies using a fabricated movie critic named "David Manning." Between 2000 and 2001, Manning's name and fake reviews were part of the advertising campaigns for "Vertical Limit," "A Knight's Tale," "The Animal," "Hollow Man" and "The Patriot." Anyone claiming to have purchased a ticket to these movies between August 3, 2000, and October 31, 2001, can join a class-action settlement in which Sony will reimburse the ticket-buyer $5 for every ticket purchased, up to 4 per movie (2 adults, 2 minors). Personally, I got tickets for at least 2 people to "Hollow Man" and "The Patriot," which means I'm in for a cool $20. Plus, seeing how "Hollow Man" is one of the worst movies ever, anyone who called it "One helluva scary ride!" (which the made-up Manning did) should owe me $5 (which the made-up Manning now does).
Click on the link below to read the details of the settlement with Sony and find out how to receive your reimbursement.

The Mozilla Foundation announced today that it was reorganizing and forming the Mozilla Corporation. While the Mozilla Foundation will continue to be a non-profit public benefit software development organization the Mozilla Corporation will be a for-profit company aimed at serving other non-profit development efforts. A majority of the Mozilla Foundation employes will be moving to the new Mozilla Corporation. What difference will this make for Firefox users? Very little according to the Mozilla Corporation both Firefox and Thunderbird will remain free products and will stay open source. The primary reason for the switch was to escape legal restrictions placed upon not-for-profit organizations in the United states. TheMozilla Foundation will remain non-profit and be able to continue to accept tax-deductible donations to continue to help the free open source software movement. Both theMozilla Corporation and the Mozilla Foundation will continue to work with developers to improve Firefox, Thunderbird, and other open source projects to benefit the internet community.

Genuine Windows Validation Fixed
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Corporate News, Mods / Hacks, Software
Microsoft's attempt to fight software pirates was stopped in its tracks last time this validation tool was released. Now they claim to have fixed the vulnerability. I guess you can call this the Genuine Windows Validation Tool SP1. Let's see how long it takes hackers to make this one obsolete. My guess is we'll be hearing about a work around by week's end.

Why Trustworthy Computing Is A Bad Idea
Posted by Sparky Categories: Corporate News, Features, Mods / Hacks, PC / Laptop
A number of sites have picked up the story that Intel Developer kits from Apple include TCPA/TPM DRM in the Kernel. TCPA/TPM DRM is a technical term for a Trustworthy Computing solution that limits what fair use consumers can use with the media they own. Basically it lets an application control what other applications or pieces of hardware can access it's files. For instance a file created in Quicktime could be signed with a quicktime flag meaning no 3rd party applications or other users could view that file. There has been no word on how Apple is going to implement TCPA/TPM DRM yet, but conceivably they could use it to say that no non-DRM'ed pieces of media could be played on a machine making the assumption that if a file does not include DRM then it must be pirated. TCPA/TPM DRM also features the ability to create a secure encrypted channel between a graphics card and a monitor that supports TCPA - this unfortunately not only would help "prevent" piracy by capturing the live stream from the computer to the monitor (something not really done in practice anyway) but would force you to buy a TCPA compliant monitor.
Of course Windows Vista will have TCPA/TPM DRM built in as well - it's one of Microsoft's big selling points. I'm not sure how they are spinning it as a benefit to consumers as this does nothing but hurt innocent users wishing to exercise fair use of their content - pirates will always find a method to getting around DRM solutions. TCPA is a technology that only hinders consumers, and benefits no-one but the MPAA, RIAA, and other large greedy organizations that don't trust their paying customers. With both Apple and Microsoft playing into the media organizations wishes for TCPA to be widely adopted then the consumer loses choice, freedom, and the ability to exercise fair use of the media they both own and enjoy. Check out a possible solution and more information about TCPA after the jump.

Apple Updates Trademark to Include Video Playback
Posted by Alex Grahmann Categories: Corporate News, Portable Audio / Video
Apple has recently updated the full description of its iPod trademark to include the handling of video files. The old trademark described iPods as "portable and handheld digital electronic devices for recording, organizing, transmitting, manipulating, and reviewing text, data, and audio files." However, the new trademark, as of July 18th, tacks on a few words at the end so that it now reads, "…reviewing text, data, audio, image, and video files." This change could be seen as a direct confirmation of the much-rumored Video iPod, but may also simply be Apple hedging its bets for unspecified future expansion. If I were Apple, I'd go ahead and change the trademark to finish with "…reviewing text, data, audio, image, video, brainwave, metabolic, and three-dimensional files, as well as any file leading to Apple's ultimate world domination." Apple is just that hot right now.

Thought Out Renames iPod Accessories Per Apple's Demands
Posted by Alex Grahmann Categories: Accessories, Corporate News
What had been known as the Thought Out "iPed" will now be simply known as the "Ped," thanks to a cease-and-desist order issued to the company by Apple. The Ped line of accessories consists of pedestal-style stands for various versions of the iPod, several of which have gotten favorable reviews from online vendors. While many, many other companies are getting away with putting a lowercase "i" in front of product names in order to sell a few thousand more units than they would otherwise, the one-letter difference between "iPod" and "iPed" doesn't seem to be a big enough gap to avoid the scrutiny of the almighty Apple. In their letter, Apple explained that the name confusion could weaken the iPod brand strength. In a way, this could be taken as a sort of compliment to Thought Out, who probably had no idea that their little pedestals would cause such a stir.
Unfortunately, I have a friend named "Ted" who is now suing Thought Out on similar grounds. He says that "Ped" weakens his brand strength with the ladies.

Whoa... I am definately in the minority. We prefer really simple cookies, but no one in my family liked these. They felt the cookie was too powdery and bland.
These absolutely melt in your mouth! I used raw cane sugar (available at Safeway, in my case) and they turned out beautifully. Tasting these makes me proud of my Norwegian heritage.
These are very melt-in-your-mouth tasty butter cookies. There are not too sweet and have a nice, crumbly texture. I had no problem getting the dough to hold together. Be sure you use softened butter and a large egg. Also, you must remove them from the cookie sheet before they cool too much, or they will stick and break.
Following advice, I added liquid to the recipe. I added milk, which is more in keeping with Scandinavian recipes. Pearl sugar is a must. But the cookies were definitely a hit!
These were good and lasted all Christmas season - alas very dry dough made them heavy. I needed to add vanilla to the egg and sugar because there was no way all the flour was going to be absorbed. Also, I think this recipe was designed with real "mixer" equipment in mind. Took a long time to roll into balls because the dough was so dry.
Really melt-in-your mouth! I can't remember giving anything in Epicurious 4 forks! Not very difficult either. I added about a 1/4 cup of water to the dough as it seemed very dry and wouldn't hold together, but that could well be because I cannot get extra-large eggs in Portugal.
I made this recipe at Christmas and everyone loved it. The recipe is easy and gave great results. My children especially liked them.
I excitedly purchased December's Gourmet magazine when I saw it had a Norwegian cookie recipe! I'm of Norwegian descent and love when I come across a "Norsk" recipe. This was an excellent cookie. I made 21 different varieties this year! This will definitely be one of the cookies I make every Xmas. It reminded me of a cookie my mother used to make every year "Berliner Kranser". This cookie tasted exactly the same, but was shaped in a ball instead of a wreath {Kranse}. I used coarsely crushed sugar cubes, since I didn't have pearl sugar. My Mom always crushed sugar herself also. I adjusted oven temp. to 300 F. I baked cookies for only 11 min. I flattened cookies with the bottom of a small glass and then super-imposed a small depression in the center of that again with a small cap. The depression in the center of the cookie is where I placed the crushed sugar. Supurb cookie!!

Coming Out?
Hi everyone! I did a search on the forums for this but couldn't find anything recent or relevant so I decided to just make a new thread.
I am trying to come out to family right now, I came out to my aunt and her daughter because I knew that they would be supportive and they 100% are as well as some of my friends. But now I need to tell my parents and I am really struggling with it. I'm really not sure how to go about it. Every time I go to talk to them I just freeze and walk away. I'm 23 yrs old and I don't want to live my life in a closet. I think my main problem is getting up the nerve to do it and worrying too much about what they will think or say or do. But, I would like to hear some stories about how you came out and how your family reacted, if you would like to share. I think that might help me out, getting opinions and just hearing about how others have dealt with it. This is the only place I know of right now to go to so any replies will be greatly appreciated. THANKS!:) |
Every significant event I told my family was during holidays. I was in the Military and finaly admitted to myself that I was not straight, so I thought I might be bi. I called my family Thanksgiving day to let them know and I had planned it out that my brothers would be "ok" with it, my mother would support me unconditionally, and my father would never talk to me again.
So the official phone call is made, I talked to my brothers, who both accepted it, then I told my mother.......she hated it. She couldn't understant what she did to make me gay and of course, her religious side came out. My father told me he loved me unconditionally. It would be another few months before I finally decide I was gay but it took years before my mother accepted it. THought she loved me, she used every excuse to try and change me. I heard phrases like "Don't give up on women" and "You're life is going to be really hard if you are gay". We finally worked it out and loves her son-in-law. But those were different times and may not be similar to your family's reaction. Remember your family only want's the best for you, it may take some time, but they will love you. |
I dont have any words of wisdom right now, except just do it. You cant hide in the closet for the rest of your life, and the sooner you come out the better your life will be...trust me!
Perhaps you can get some stregnth from this young man! :hug: http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/...171332857.html |
It took me going to Disney on the College Program to know I was ready to tell my family.
After I got back I had dinner at my step mom's house. After dessert, we were sitting in the living room talking and then there was a pause. We looked at each other, and I tried to tell her. I couldn't make the words come out. She opened her arms, leaned toward me and told me she loved me. As we hugged, she also told me she knew and that it had no bearing on her love for me or our relationship. She also had told me that she had known for at least eight years. And that before my father passed, he had asked her, "Do you think Todd's gay?" To which she replied to him: "If he is would it make him any less your son or would you love him any less?" He thought about it for a second and said of course it wouldn't change a thing, and was never brought up again. After that, I told my six sisters one at a time at their houses under varying circumstances, and they were all warm and welcoming. Only one asked questions...nothing inappropriate, just what terms and titles she should use. I wrote a letter to my mom, because verbal communication has never been our strong suit. She knew for a while, but I wanted to tell her, so it felt as if I were no longer hiding anything. I have not officially told my grandparents, but they know. My partner gets birthday cards from my gram and she has told him to stop calling her Marilyn and call her gram or gramma. My grandfather on the other hand is a hateful bigot with whom I have no desire to include in any part of my life. He doesn't know where I live, that I have a partner, that I have dogs or even that I go to Disney so often--so I cannot see any reason to tell him. He would only bring grief to my mother (his daughter) and I would not wish that upon her. I am extremely grateful that I was brought up in a loving family and hope that yours is just as welcoming and warm as mine. You are their flesh and blood. And after everything else is stripped away, your family and friends remain. :grouphug::grouphug::flower3: |
Todd (Jeanigor), in all the years I've known you that's the first I've heard of this - and its wonderful.
For the benefit of others, my step-daughter is lesbian and I've loved her from the first day I met her. She's family and it was never an issue. I made a point of telling her that the day I married her mom. After 14+ years, we are closer than ever. So, I guess the point is: Give you family a chance to show you the love. :love: |
I started off by telling my sister, since she's like my best friend. I told her in the car while we were driving down the highway. Maybe not the best time or place, but it is what it is. She told my mom, so that made it easy for me. Sadly my dad had already passed away at this point, so never got the chance to tell him. So my advice would be to just do it. You can wait for the perfect time and place but that may never happen. Good luck!
I was raised by my grandparents, and came out during my senior year of High School, when I was going away for the weekend and sharing a room with two of my closest girl friends. My grandmother, who was sitting playing solitaire on the computer, mentioned something about having sex and this is the exchange that followed:
Me: Well, that's one thing you don't have to worry about! Gram: Why? Me: 'cause I'm gay! Gram: I know you are. What will be will be; and I will love you forever. And with that, she turned off the computer, got up and went to bed. |
I came out to my parents when I was 19 because I got tired of all the homophobic comments the males in my immediate family would make about anyone who was different, or "obvious". Not only did my coming out to them change their conservative, and religious beliefs, but my parents and I are more closer than ever. They have even given great advise to a couple of family members whose kids have come out after me.
Find yourself a big support group, whether it's friends, other family members, or a local group :grouphug: It's all out there for you! Good luck! |
So Todd,
Any Updates? |
Thanks everyone for your comments and advice. I have been trying to do this yet, but I keep chickening out. I was going to do it tonight, but every time I went to say something to my mom something else came out not related to what I wanted to say. I am finding this really difficult, simply put - it is scaring the Hell out of me. I really don't know why I can't do it, but I just can't, I really want to do it soon though. There are a lot of things going on right now, family stuff, starting another part time job so now I'll have two, plus school and all the other crap that comes with life, basically = major stress.:scared1: Anyway, I need to do it because it is dragging me down not only emotionally but socially, ya know what I mean? My family isn't one of those that talks about that kind of stuff, we keep everything bottled up until we have a breakdown, believe me, I've seen it happen and it isn't pretty. But I am trying in my own way to do it, but it just isn't working out yet. So once I get myself motivated again I will try, and I will keep you guys updated. Once again thanks for your stories and advice, it really does help!:) ~Todd
Haven't had this discussion in a while!
Hi, Todd:
I wavered for about 6 years before I finally came out to my parents. In the same vein as you, I would often head up to see my parents, and then turn around or just say hi. In theory, I thought I could do it, but my vocal chords would freeze and my knees would buckle every time I got to the door. Additionally, while in college, I only saw my parents during holidays, and I didn't want to ruin any holidays or to have my parents distracted by thoughts while driving. I had come out to my sisters (both initially were freaked out) and a few people in college. Later on, my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and I ultimately decided that I had to tell her at some point. Would she rather have gone through life not knowing? I didn't know, but there was only one way to find out. I consulted a classmate who stated that ultimately, there was never going to be a good time and that the major criterion in making this decision should be how I felt. Did I feel that it was right for me? I did. So chemotherapy finished and my birthday impended. Finally, on my 22nd birthday, I prepared a speech which I wrote down and cornered them in the bedroom. I imagined my tone would be casual and relaxed and confident, but by the time I got to the bottom of the page, I was barely squeaking. Not so hot. Everything turned out alright. After the fact, you think, "Of course that's how they would react. What did I expect?" Beforehand, though, you don't really know. You feel uncertain of the outcome and that any reaction is possible. It seems like you know yourself, though, which is very important, regardless of anyone's reaction. I felt ready for any reaction. My parents were disappointed but supportive, if that makes sense. They told me that nothing would change and my mother was even immediately open to the idea of me having a boyfriend, but they wanted me to stay closeted, which is not something I was willing to do, even if I could. I think most people who meet me just know I'm not straight though; it's not something I'm able to hide, and it would be ridiculous to even try. Granted, I do feel I have a lot more freedom now after moving to northern Illinois, where the climate is a bit more open than in southern Kentucky, where I grew up. There have been rough patches and a few concerns, but nothing devastating. They had HUGE clues all along; they just didn't want to know. My parents would rather have not known (or so they say), but ultimately, they were okay with knowing. My parents really did want me in the closet, they were focused on dangers and bigotry and fear of disappointment from their parents and friends (to whom I probably will not come out as they live far away; I rarely see them, so it's not a giant issue). I think that also comes from the cultures in which we grew. Thanks to a little bit of drama and persistence from my godparents (who figured the whole ordeal out on their own), they've loosened up a bit (This was a 3-4 year process, which isn't too bad.). I also don't see them quite as much. I'm lucky to have a roommate and people around me who are cool. Nowadays, it's not so much of a hangup; it doesn't pervade my entire existence and I don't think about it as much. I'm proud to be who I am, but who I am doesn't worry me as much as it used to. At the moment, it feels like mostly a non-issue now, which I think is everyone's goal. (I do realize that our laws have a long way to go, though.) All in all, I wasn't sure what would happen since I grew up in a relatively open but conservative (socially liberal compared to our surroundings), borderline-fundamentalist environment, but I'm relieved at the outcome. It doesn't bother me anymore. Emotionally, I felt I was prepared for anything. Just be ready to stick to your guns no matter what. Anyway, you will come out when you come out--in your own time. It will just happen when you want it to happen. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. |
I am a straight mother of 5 and just wanted to let you know that you have our support! We visited Disney last week and I saw many gay couples. My kids did not notice and I did not point them out. We have many friends who are gay and my kids are aware that it's ok to have a boyfriend/girlfriend. My husband and I are "old school", couples consist of a man and a women. HOWEVER.....some of my best friends are gay men......go figure. We have a 6year old twin whos gender we question, we will love him no matter what. I hope someday, you are there for him, as we are here for you today. Enjoy your trip!!!! Be proud, you are who you are.
Well, I know you'll do a better job than my oldest daughter did today - she posted the info on facebook...
So, knowing how silly some young people get on good old FB, I sent her a text asking her to call me about the changes she made to her info page. I've been getting calls from many family members, and I couldn't tell them anything for sure. So, she just called and told me yes, it's all true and serious. Her partner is a wonderful young lady, I really like her, but I wish they had just let me know when I saw them in person a week ago. We parents, even when we accept 100%, need some time to digest and process the info. It's almost like grieving - the image we have of our child has changed, and while that love is not lost, the future we envisioned has been altered. My MIL has already told me she is proud of her granddaughter, no matter what, but my mom :eek: I have no idea how she will react. |
I fear giving advice on something so personal, so I'll only say no matter how hard it is, once you get past the intial terror of telling them, it can only get better from there. It can't get better until you tell them, though. And you must tell them if you want to be happy.
Keep in mind that there's nothing wrong with being gay and your parents love you. I like what OKW Lover said about giving your family a chance. If you want to hear coming out stories for inspiration, mine is a bit strange in that I was thirteen when I started telling people. I want to start by saying I'm NOT an overly religious person. I wasn't raised going to church or anything like that, but I was aware that people believed being gay was wrong in God's eyes. Anyway, once I realized I was gay (in Grade 6) I started praying. It took me two years to "come out" to God, and then I asked Him for signs that He forgave me (I was a little scared that I was going to hell for it way back then). I asked for something VERY specific (my friends, because I was lost and praying for help--yeah, I know, I'm making it sound like I was some God-fearing kid, but I wasn't), and after I finished praying, I looked over my shoulder, and they were all there looking for me. I know this sounds corny, but at 13, that was all it took for me to know there was nothing wrong with being gay. Just try to understand that I was looking for them for a lonnnng time before I sat down and prayed for help, lol. Then I started telling people. I WANTED to tell people. Not telling people was frigging annoying. I've had to "come out" many times because of moving a LOT in my teen years, and it's always different. Coming out to my mom was annoying, because she made it all about her. Everyone else in my family pretty much said, "Yeah? And?" It's safe to say they had known most of my life, lol. But no matter how awkward it's been at times, I'm glad it's all behind me. The sooner you can accept yourself enough to share you with the world, the happier you'll be. I HATED being in the closet. And I only did it for like a year, lmho. Good luck :grouphug: Quote:
HA! I love this story ^.^ |

Ten years ago, I met the love of my life. The other day my husband looked at me and said, "You know, I think we have the relationship most people are looking for." One thing I know for sure is that I don't think two people could love, respect, or cherish each other more than we do. As your coach, I can offer you the perspective of someone who has been on both sides of the equation. I took my theories and ideas about what it takes to find love, put them to the test in my own life, and found the closet thing I can imagine to true and unconditional love. Because I was so grateful for the love I found, I created Naked Dating® so I could help others find the love they want and deserve. For the past ten years, I have guided others along this same path. Perhaps you'll be next? I certainly don't have all the answers, but I can tell you that figuring out how to love and have a loving relationship has made the most profound difference in my life. Waking up every day knowing that I am loved and knowing that there is someone there by my side to walk through life with me is the closet thing to peace on earth we can achieve. Love is yours for the taking. All you have to do is find first it inside yourself and then find another person to share it with. Naked Dating® can show you how it's done.

Communist rebel surrenders
-A A +ABy Bong Garcia
Monday, October 8, 2012
DISGRUNTLED with the communist movement, a 36-year-old New People's Army (NPA) rebel has surrendered to the government in the province of Zamboanga del Sur, a military official reported Monday.
Captain Albert Caber, Army 1st Infantry Division spokesman, said Lito Sumasal Bawan alias "Ka Robin" surrendered around 8:30 a.m. of Sunday to the detachment of the 5th Infantry Battalion's Bravo Company in the village of Lourdes, Pagadian City.
Caber said Bawan, who belongs to the Western Mindanao Regional Party Committee, turned over a Garand rifle with ammunition when he surrendered.
Bawan decided to surrender after he became "frustrated and exhausted by the hardships he had while waging a long, endless and useless war against the government," Caber said.
The surrender of Bawan, who is a resident of Dampaln village, Pagadian City, was made possible through the assistance of Lourdes village chief Narcisa Puro.
Bawan is now at the headquarters of the Army's 5th Infantry Battalion for debriefing and proper disposition.

People of 2009: Malalai Joya
For putting her own life at great risk to speak loudly against the forces -- domestic and international -- that are keeping the Afghan people from living in security
Jeffrey Allen, OneWorld.net, February 4, 2010
WASHINGTON, (OneWorld.net) - Afghanistan's youngest member of parliament is also a women, and perhaps one of its most educated, and outspoken.
Malalai Joya's public cries against the Taliban, the U.S./NATO forces, and the Karzai government -- which she says is laden with warlords and fundamentalists -- have put her in grave danger. She has been physically attacked on the floor of parliament. She has been ejected from the governing body. Twice. And she has survived five assassination attempts.
انقلابی نازک صدای افغانستان: صدایی از پشت اتاق
او منتقد بیپروا و صریحاللهجۀ بنیادگرایانی است که زنان مملکتش را مطیع خود میکنند. اکنون وی را در سطح بینالمللی صدایی برای افغانستان مستقل میشناسند
نوشته Andrew Oxford، لوموند دیپلماتیک، دسامبر ٢٠٠٩
برگردان: نرمین براهنی و فریبرز فرشیم
ملالی جویا تنها ۳۲ سال دارد، ولی در تبعید بوده؛ یک پناهنده، معلم دختران در افغانستان دورۀ طالبان. ولی او اکنون جوانترین عضو مجلس این کشور است، با این حال همچنان در حال گریز است و به مرگ تهدید میشود.
افغانستان کشوری است جوان که جدال های کهنه آن را ویرانه کرده است. البته اشارۀ ما به دولت جدید که پس از حملۀ سال ۲۰۰۱ خلق شد (یا به جنگهای خشن بین قبیلهای که تا هزارۀ کنونی ادامه یافته) نیست. جوانی این ملت یک حقیقت آماری است که در گزارشهای سازمان ملل و بانک جهانی ثبت و سپس دفن شده است: ۶۰ در صد از این ملت زیر ۲۵ سال دارد و بسیاری نیز بیش از این عمر نمیکنند. (۱)
نزدیک به یک دهه از زمانی که نیروهای ناتو، به رهبری آمریکا، افغانستان را [ به اصطلاح] «آزاد» کردند، گذشته است. اما در قبال اشغال کشور، پرداخت بیلیونها دلار کمک مالی و کشته شدن هزاران نظامی و غیرنظامی چیزی عاید آن نشده است. چندان صدایی از اکثریت جوان مملکت شنیده نمیشود. گفتگوهای سیاسی در کابل، آیندۀ این جوانان را نادیده میگیرد. این چیزی است که در تسلط افراد مظنون همیشگی، بوروکرات های ریشو و مبلغان جنگهای کهنه قرار دارد.
'The bravest woman in Afghanistan' talks about peace, justice and women's rights
Why Canada must leave Afghanistan now
Haseena Manek, The Ryerson Free Press, February 3, 2010
Malalai Joya was just 27 years old when she became the youngest person ever to be elected to Afghanistan's parliament. That was in 2005. Four years later, she is also an author, a teacher, a peace activist, a women's rights campaigner and a survivor of multiple assassination attempts.
Joya was recently in Canada to promote her memoir, A Woman Among Warlords: The Extraordinary Story of an Afghan Who Dared to Speak Out, and to appear at numerous peace events across the country.
An Afghan woman's case against the U.S. war
Anyone who wants to better understand Afghanistan and to better explain why the U.S. has no business there should read this indispensable and beautifully written book.
Review by LICHI D'AMELIO, International Socialist Review (ISR), Issue 69, January–February 2010
Malalai Joya
A Woman Among Warlords:
The Extraordinary Story of an Afghan Who Dared to Raise Her Voice
Scribner, 2009 • 240 pages • $25
It's difficult to imagine even the faintest glimmer of hope when it comes to Afghanistan. If the past thirty years are any indication, the cycle of invasion, occupation, war, misery, and betrayal shows little sign of ending.
As the U.S./NATO occupation enters its eighth year, and with Barack Obama ordering an escalation of U.S. troops, progressives and activists of all stripes will find an excellent resource as well as a tremendous source of inspiration—and even hope—in Malalai Joya's recently released book.
The Afghan politician talks about her hopes for her country, her heroes and the London conference on Afghanistan
Malalai Joya - extended interview
Mehdi Hasan, New Statesman, January 29, 2010
What is your earliest memory?
I was only four days old when the coup of 27 April took place and the Russian puppet regime was installed in Afghanistan [in 1978]. One of my earliest memories is of clinging to my mother's legs while police ransacked our house, looking for my father. They turned it upside down searching for clues, emptying everything out of drawers, ripping open mattresses and pillows.
Do you still hope to return to the Afghan parliament?
Yes. I have challenged my illegal suspension in court, although in two years there has been no progress. My case is being followed by the Inter-Parliamentary Union, but it is also deeply fed up with the Afghan parliament, as it only makes empty promises.
Suspended Afghan MP speaks out
Malalai Joya writes A Woman Among Warlords
Tamara Lorincz, The Chronicle Herald, Jan.17, 2010
Malalai Joya speaks at a peace protest outside the International Security Forum meetings in Halifax in November. (Peter Parsons / Staff)
She is a small, humble Afghan woman, only 31, but Malalai Joya has already been elected to and banished from the parliament of Afghanistan, has received many international human rights awards, and has survived five assassination attempts.
In her autobiography, A Woman Among Warlords: The Extraordinary Story of an Afghan Who Dared to Raise Her Voice, Joya explains how the threats and banishment are due to her role as an outspoken critic of the corruption and war in her country.
Joya writes, "I am young and I value my life; I don't want to be killed. But I don't fear death; I fear remaining silent in the face of injustice. I fear becoming indifferent to the fate of my people."
Daring to raise her voice: A woman among warlords
Malalai Joya: We are not a helpless country. We have been able to manage our own affairs, and women's rights have not always been in such a terrible state.

Suspended Afghan MP Malalai Joya tells her personal and political story in her new book. She says it's a myth that only foreign occupation can save Afghanistan from itself. Here is an excerpt from Chapter 12, A Bird with One Wing:
Western journalists rarely challenge the fables that are spun for them. Because of the laziness and complicity within the mainstream media, the United States and its allies have been able to perpetuate the myth that Afghanistan has always been an ungovernable state, and that the oppression of women is embedded in Afghan culture. The brutality of the Taliban, the myth goes, was only an extreme expression of an old problem. And so only foreign occupation can save Afghanistan from itself.
From Saturday's Books section: Lifting the veil
In the Afghanistan that Malalai Joya writes about, women are now 'free' to beg in the streets, sell their children and prostitute themselves
By Jennifer Moreau, The Globe and Mail, Jan. 15, 2010
Malalai Joya (Photo: The Globe and Mail)
Malalai Joya has never been the type to bite her tongue in the face of adversarial attack. The youngest Afghan ever elected to parliament has made a name for herself, relentlessly criticizing what she calls the "warlords and criminals in the puppet government of Hamid Karzai."
In return, she has been called a communist, a whore and an infidel. She has endured rape threats and death threats, and survived five attempts on her life. She travels with bodyguards, lives underground and uses a pseudonym to protect her family.
Late last year, she wrapped up a cross-Canada book tour promoting her new biography, A Woman Among Warlords, co-written with Vancouver peace activist Derrick O'Keefe. With her harsh criticism of the Karzai government and her troops-out-now stance, Joya raises serious questions about the war at a time when U.S. President Barack Obama has just promised to send 30,000 more troops to the region.
Malalai Joya's Address to GAAW New Year's Day Peace Event
We reproduce Malalai Joya's speech by telephone from a safe house in Kabul to our Galway peace event
The Irish Anti-War Movement, Jan.15, 2010
On New Year's Day Galway Alliance Against War (GAAW) held a successful peace party to welcome in the new decade – our aim is that this decade should be a much more peaceful one than the bloody one just gone. Alas, the signs are not promising. Any difference between Obama and Bush is not discernible. Ireland continues to play an active part in this bogus "war on terror". More than €3 million per year is spent by the Irish government to protect what has become a US military installation at Shannon airport. Sure, the airport has had a financial return of €7 million on an annual basis, but at what price? The end of Irish neutrality: Ireland becoming an accessory to both mass murder and the wholesale abuse of human rights. Amnesty International have underlined this fact this week by reiterating that Shannon Airport has been directly linked to "extraordinary rendition" and the Guantanamo torture jets – for example in the case of Binyam Mohamad.
Afghanistan's soft-spoken rebel: The voice from the back of the room
Now she is internationally prominent as the voice for an independent Afghanistan.
By Andrew Oxford, Le Monde Diplomatique, January 2010
Malalai Joya is only 32, but she has been an exile, a refugee, a teacher of girls in the Taliban's Afghanistan, and now that country's youngest member of parliament. She's still on the run though, and still threatened with assassination
Afghanistan is a young nation ravaged by old conflicts. This does not refer to the new government created after the 2001 invasion (or the violent battles between different tribes that have carried on into the new millennium). Its youthfulness is a statistical fact buried in UN and World Bank reports: 60% of the country is under the age of 25, and many may not live much beyond that (1).
Afghan activist urges foreign troops to leave
She steadfastly maintains that the average Afghan wants peace and democracy but will not get it from the current regime.
Reviewed by Jackie Shymanski, Winnipeg Free Press, January 9, 2010
The author of this compelling autobiography has been called one of the bravest women in Afghanistan, by media and politicians the globe over.
The very basics of her story -- being a refugee in Iran, Pakistan and even in Afghanistan, having a parent hunted by rotating regimes, being female where that instantly means being second class -- could earn her the title.
Add to it her chosen vocation -- women's rights activist, the youngest ever Afghan parliamentarian -- and her memoir offer heartbreaking insight into today's Afghanistan.
A Voice of Resistance in Afghanistan
She is a bold spokesperson for a current of opinion in Afghanistan that is silenced by the Karzai regime and its NATO backers.
Book Review by Suzanne Weiss, Socialist Voice, January 4, 2010
A Woman Among Warlords: The Extraordinary Story of an Afghan Who Dared to Raise Her Voice, by Malalai Joya, with Derrick O'Keefe. Scribner, 2009.
Afghan social activist and writer Malalai Joya is the voice of another, hidden Afghanistan – the partisans of independence, democracy, and human rights who have no voice under the corrupt U.S.-sponsored regime of Hamid Karzai.
She has survived multiple assassination attempts for her outspoken advocacy of women's rights and withdrawal of U.S., Canadian, and other NATO armed forces. She believes the people of Afghanistan, especially the women, can organize the struggle for fundamental rights such as health care, education, control of their bodies and their lives – but only when the foreign occupiers leave their country.
A woman among warlords
One of the most hopeful voices to emerge out of Afghanistan is Malalai Joya
By Shea Howell, The Michigan Citizen, January 3, 2010
One of the most hopeful voices to emerge out of Afghanistan is Malalai Joya. Barely 30 years old, Joya has been called "Afghanistan's bravest woman." Under the Taliban she risked death by running an underground school for girls. Shortly after the U.S. invasion, at the age of 24, she ran for parliament and won. She found herself one of the few women at the first constitutional assembly. Looking around, she saw a room full of the very warlords who had engulfed her country into a civil war.
Amid dark times, meet the most inspiring people of 2009
Inspiration Three: Evo Morales and Malalai Joya. Although they were born thousands of miles apart, these two people embody what real democracy can mean.

It was a dark year, 2009, sealing a dark decade. It began with the world in economic free-fall and the Gaza Strip being bombed to pieces (again). We watched the vicious crushing of a democratic uprising in Iran, a successful far-right coup in Honduras, and the intensification of the disastrous war in Afghanistan. It all ended at Brokenhagen, where the world's leaders breezily decided to carry on cooking the planet.
'Bravest' Afghan woman MP in live link at Galway peace party
The Galway anti-war alliance says Ms Joya's address would be transmitted live from a safe house in the Afghan capital, Kabul.
Lorna Siggins, The Irish Times, December 31, 2009
A FEMALE politician described as "the bravest woman in Afghanistan" is to be guest of honour via a live link at a New Year's Day peace party hosted in Galway.
Malalai Joya, a member of the Afghan parliament, has survived four assassination attempts and is said to be hated by the Karzai government which banned her from parliament, and by the Taliban.
She is due to speak by telephone link to the Galway Alliance Against War gathering in Galway Rowing Club at 7pm tomorrow.

I thought this outfit was worthy of being shared. I haven't been blogging much lately and a previous post explains why. I will try to blog more and gradually explain what I have been working on. As some of you know, I love to thrift shop! Might sound cliche but I am passionate about finding gems in thrift stores and related places. I recently ran into a pair of high-waisted jeans at a local thrift store, once I found them, I knew I had to dress them up! So I added a retro polka dotted top with fun butterfly sleeves, ballet flats from H&M, and a skinny leopard print belt (I like to think this is my signature piece). I hope you like!
Thanks for stopping by!

03blackpath Posts: 2Second time repalacing the 255/65 16 tires. Had the Toyo OEM tires first. Great tire, poor tread wear (26K). Bought Michelin Cross Terrain's, again , great tire, poor tread wear (30K), and pricey $165. Now looking at the Bridgestone Dueler Revo's. Problem is they are not available in the OEM 255/65 16 size. Considering 245/70 16, close in size, or going up a size 255/70 16. Let me know if anyone else has changed sizes or using LT tires. Any fender rubbing issues? Thanks for your input.
bk7p3lw Posts: 1Recently bought a used 2006 Pathfinder SE with 18K miles and BFG 265/70 R16s. Two front tires are starting to show signs of cupping. The local tire shop says due to not rotating tires and that Pathfinders tend to develop this problem. Says Armadas are even worse.
Anyone else having this problem? Had the tires rotated and balanced but that won't fix this problem. What would be the next step -- alignment? check the suspension? -
silverghost Posts: 154I have no personal experience with the Revo's, but they have a very good reputation. For sizing comparisons, look here - http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html
Bridgestone Alenza's are available in your OEM size. Cheaper than Michelin C/T's (which I just bought) and they have a very favorable Tire Rack rating. Whether they're right for you depends upon how you will use them. -
mojo5 Posts: 12 months into my 2nd set of tires on the Pathfinder (Pirelli scorpion ATR)....and I am getting some abnormal tread wear on the front tires only. It is a "feathering" of the tread from front to rear. Only thing i can find online about this kind of wear speaks of trailer tires for big rigs. Anyone seen this? Is it a known issue with the new pathfinders? Any reason to worry?
I had the same issue with the stock Radial long Trails, but they needed replacement anyway after 35k. Tires are rotated and balanced every 5k. -
kato4 Posts: 1hello,
i've recently purchased my 07 PF, SE and am not satisfied with the small 16" wheel/tires. I'd like to go up to 18" but wasnt sure how well the vehicle would handle this size. I know the LE's come with 17" and TireRack.com offers up to a 20" for this model. I'd also be curious to know if there is a certain brand of tire that would improve the ride. I figured I'd use my 16" in the winter since they appear to have a pretty good tread so these would be more for clear weather road conditions.
john -
alkc Posts: 9My '01 LE needs tires and I would appreciate any & all recommendations.
I commute on two-lane paved roads that have many turns, average speed 45mph. Because of the turns, I have never achieved more than 45K for each set of tires, 200K miles total for the vehicle, I travel via freeway to mountain spots during the summer & get into some bumpy, light rock terrain but no serious 4-wheelin'.
After researching Tire Rack, I have narowed the choices down to these:
- Avon Ranger TSE
- Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza
- Continental Cross-Contact LX
- Michelin LTX-MS
- Yokohama Geolander HT-S G051
I had the Michelins once before and got only 45K out of them. I'm a bit reluctant on the Bridgestones because another Bridgestone model came with the vehicle & weren't very good.
Opinions. anyone? -
birdbath8 Posts: 1Anyone have 20" wheels on their Pathfinder? I have a 2008 SE V8 that I put aftermarket wheels on. When I hit 60 mph and above and hit any uneven or bumpy roads my steering wheel likes to bounce around (shake, jump..just plain squirrely). Not a balancing problem cuz it rides fine on smooth surfaces. Dealer says steering doesn't have any problems that it is the new wheels, tire pros say that it shouldn't be the wheel. I'm confused and pissed off. Any ideas? Thanks.

almatti Posts: 164Alkc: I have a Pathy LE 2001, replaced with Michelin LTX-MS. Purchased from COSTCO. Great deal. Tire wear has been good. I have over 40K on them now. Mixed local and highway mileage. Smooth riding tire and good in snowy conditions, not great in snow, good. I would look at the Geolanders too. Highly rated tire. Had Yokohamas on my Mazda 6, what a difference form the Michelin Pilots in overall ride and price.
almatti Posts: 164I purchased Michelin LTX-MS tires for my 2001 Pathfinder LE in 2006. With about 22k on the tires, while driving on the highway at 65-70 MPH, in July, the tire Blew and the tread separated from the tire wall. Very Fortunately, my son who was driving at time, was able to get the Pathy from the left hand lane over to the shoulder on the right. IT"S A MIRACLE THAT THE SUV DIDN"T FLIP OVER !! After I was called and was able to get to him (he was realtively close to home), examining the Pathy revealed that the tread - still intact - wrapped around the rear wheel mudflap and tailpipe - like a huge Rubberband. The AAA tow truck that responded to change the tire [btw, AAA memebership is worth every penny] said that in 24 years of dealing with cars and tires, he never saw anything like this !!
Brought the tire to COSTCO where I purchased the set of 4 tires. The service manager replaced the tire without question - it had to be ordered. But the damages to the vehicle had to be handled directly with Michelin. They required me to ship the damaged tire to them since their conversation with the Costco service techician initially indicated that it was "driver error" . I sent the damaged tire to Michelin. After their technicians inspected it, they contacted me and said the tire was a Run-Flat problem, not tread separation. Incredibly, they offered to pay a prorata share for a new replacement. I called them and told them how stupid they were, since Costco - backing the products they carry - replaced the tire for free immediately. I wanted to recover the costs to the dmaged tailpipe and rear mudflap from Michelin. Supervisors were contacted, but no chnage in their position. They sent brochures on Run-Flat tire damage. I don't have any expertise in tire failures, but I have been driving cars for over 35 years, and never experienced anything close this. Any intelligent person examining the tire (which I still have for I forced michelin to ship it back to me for further investigation), could see how the entire tread just ripped from the sidewall. This occured around the time that some of the Tire manufactures who produce the tire in China were experiencing major flaws. I'm not certain, but one of those Chinese tires was the Michelin LTX.
Does anybody know where I might be pursue this investigation - objectively? -
jeckles Posts: 87What a terrible ordeal!
First, check your maintenance records and see when the last time the tire pressure was checked and what the values were... Also it would be good to know what the tire pressure in the other three tires were immediately after the accident (but not essential). Be sure they were checked with a good tire pressure gage. I took mine to work to make sure it was calibrated, but some of the newer digital ones shouldn't need this (supposedly).
Second, check and see how often the tires were rotated and balanced, and what records you have of each event.
Third, compare the data you have collected against Nissan and Michelin recommendations. This is the first thing the manufacturers will do, if they start an investigation.
Take as many detailed pictures of the damaged tire and vehicle as possible, before anything is repaired. These will be essential for recovering costs later.
You may be able to take the tire carcass to an independent tire dealer for evaluation, but I would approach this diplomatically so the dealer doesn't think he will end up in court.
Hope this helps. -

First, thanks for your response to my tire post. My tire guy suggested that I go with the Toyos again & I decided to follow his advice. Next time I'll switch if I get lousy mileage with these.
Re your Michelin problem: My initial act would be to send them a demand letter with copies of all the documentation you have. Make sure you sign & date the letter and give them 30 days to respond. If they fail to respond or do so in the negative, find out if they are members of the Better Business Bureau. If so, file a complaint with the BBB and see if they respond favorably; if not, file a complaint with your local district attorney's office & wait for Michelin's response.
Should you fail to receive any satisfaction from initiating these steps, then you may want to consider litigation. You can check out your state's dollar limitation amount for filing a claim in small claims court. No attorneys are allowed there and it's just you against Michelin. From the facts you have mentioned in your post, it appears that you have a good case and I wish you the best of luck.
By the way, I have a new inquiry for any reader who cares to respond. I recently discovered that the sway bar on my '01 PF LE has broken in half - that's right, clean in half within the curved section & not near the bushings where greater stress occurs. I talked to my factory-trained mechanic about this as well as a friend who is a former Nissan service manager, and both have never heard of this happening. I'm thinking this is a design or manufacturing defect rather than a mere worn-part repair situation. Granted, the vehicle has 200K miles on it now, but I hardly ever take it off road and have never hit anything that would initiate this breakage.
Has anyone ever heard of this happening? -
almatti Posts: 164Soryy for getting back to this forum so late.... Never rec'd any satisfaction from Michelin or NHTA with the complaint. Michelin shipped the damaged tire back to me with the same response: Driver error - inadequate tire pressure!!! I contacted some local BBB - to no avail. I had to eat the expenses incurred for the damage to Pathy: Tailpipe, mud flaps, etc. but again to the benefit of COSTCO - they replaced the tire without question...
I guess I will rethink a Michelin purchase in the future. I just Thank God that my son didn't "flip over" in the Pathy with a blow-out like that at 65MPH!!!. says something significant about the Pathy too!! There is no traction control or ESC system on the 2001. -
xtierra Posts: 55glad to hear that no one was hurt....... i am very concerned about tires blowing up or having an accident due to tire failure or hitting some object on the highways...... while i own a 2005 xterra, i changed the oem tires at 44,000 miles with bf rugged trails "E" load range...... most will say the tire is overkill for a small suv but for what its worth, we are all not tire experts and i felt that by placing a heavy load range tire on my small suv it will eliminate any fears on the highways ...... i just wanted to give my input on tires and what us customers should consider.... i have seen these tires on the internet for around 119.00 a piece..... but they also sell the regular load rugged that many owners are not pleased with its thread life..... i just rolled 100,000 and still have plenty of thread on each tire..
rowell Posts: 1I HAVE A 1995 NISSAN PATHFINDER AND I REALLY CONFUSE WHAT'S THE CORRECT INFLATION OF MY 235/75R15 TIRE. ACCORDING TO MY PLACARD IT IS 26PSI BUT IT TURN OUT TO DAMAGED MY TIRE THE INNER SIDE. THEN WHEN I BROUGHT TO TIRE SHOP FOR RE ALLIGMENT THE TECHNICIAN SAID MY TIRE HAS A LOW PRESSURE THAT CAUSE THE DAMAGED AND IT SHOULD BE 40PSI. BYTHEWAY MY OLD TIRE HAS A MAX OF 45PSI. BUT WHEN I ASKED THE DEALER THEY SAY THE RIGHT INFLATION IS 32PSI SO WHERE'S THE 26PSI THAT IT INDICATES ON MY PLACARD OF MY CARD FOR THE RIGHT INFLATION. PLEASE HELP ME.
kadini Posts: 2My son has a 1995 Pathfinder.
In addition to the more or less stock tires he also has 4 studded snow tires (in my garage) which he has no need for.
He want's to trade/sell the regular tires and the snow tires (rims and all) for oversized rims and tires.
I won't go into the merits of what he wants to do, that's his thing. I am interested in getting the snow tires out of my garage as quickly as possible. He has agreed to let me post them on Craigs list.
The tires are radial WINTER KING P235/75R15 108Q M+S. The rims are (factory) painted white enamel with a red and blue pen stripe around the circumference. I don't think either the rims or the tires have been used much. The rims are in very good to excellent condition and the tires have excellent tread and, as far as I can tell, no missing studs.
Is $350 a fair asking price?
Thanks. -
xtierra Posts: 55the spare tire can be stolen in 2 seconds with a flat head screw driver....the U clip can be broken in 2 seconds. the perfect lock is the metal cable type because when you lock it its visible to possible thiefs. also place some duck tape where you place the key to keep dust and dirt.
frrussre Posts: 412007 Nissan Pathfinder SE 4x4 (Although never used as 4x4) located in South Fl. I have previously reported many problems with this truck.
Latest, I just took truck to dealer "Coral Springs Nissan" from hell, 30,000 mile service, and actual miles 29,500 mile. I ask them to rotate the tires, they say really not enough tread, three tires have at least 4mm, 1 has 3mm. I know why odd, when I constantly had tires rotated. This truck had the classic problem of, every time he hit a twig or bump, the front wheels shook, I told them several times. Eventually @ 22,500 miles they found tracking had a problem & needed an extended bolt. They now tell me need new set of tires. 29,500 "Need new tires", outrageous. Should get 50k on tires. Anyway, I pay & insist on rotate tires, they sell me another balance deal. Oil & Rotate $95.
Surely tires should do better then 29,500 miles.
I also tell them rear trunk lid, needs new struts, does not fully open, so constantly hit head. Service writer from hell says "no it's fine". I refuse to deal with this writer, they get me another one. End of day, they oil struts, "See if that works, if not we will see about replacing"
Is Coral Springs Nissan a bad dealer or is it an institution Nissan thing. Try to never fix the problems.
Of course I still have the Tranny problem, rattles in doors, front windows that don't open properly, noisy wipers, tinny woofer.

almatti Posts: 164Interested in hearing opinions on replacement tires that the folks here have. The Michelins LTXs M&S have 50k on them, some tread left but replacements will be needed soon. Rotated & balanced every 5k. Elsewhere on this forum I disclosed the horror of a tread separation (Michelin called it a 'driver-error" Run Flat situation, Ha). Aside from that faulty tire which was replaced without question by COSTCO, they have been much better than the OEMs - Dunlops. Smoother, quieter ride - handled better than the Dunlops, But very $$$$.
frrussre Posts: 412007 Path SE 4x4, but almost never use 4 wheel drive. Tires are BF goodrich, 1st one worn out at 30500 miles. Not impressed. Just bought new tire + put brand new, never used spare on back. Problem with new spare, has 4 deep indentations on outside of rubber. Dealer says, caused by sparewheel, clamp. UGH! never seen or heard of such a thing. Dealer says can't do anything aboout it. Only 16 months to go, before give back the lease. Whoopee.
Reg. -
xtierra Posts: 55your struts might be worn... but should not be the problem.. i just rolled 105,000 miles and my second set of tires are ok...
i will suggest... setting your PSI doing the white chalk line test... go to smooth paved parking lot..... take a piece of chalk and draw a line across the tire from the inside to the outside... you can do 3 to 8 lines.. then drive a little bit forward and watch to see if line is getting worn even....... if too much psi.. or too little will show ..... edges wear out faster or edges stay even and center of tire is worn ..or lighter .
sounds dumb but .... each truck weighs different... each tire needs to be set according to how much weight is on the tire.... the chalk line test will tell you the exact PSI the tire is asking for..
good luck

What? that's just rubbish, the exact same problem happens on Reddit to a much worse extent.
at least on Slashdot if you disagree with the main point for a good reason you don't get modded into oblivion. on Reddit the voting system is just to mark how interesting something is, here its used to mark how relevant and accurate something is.

SusieQusie's Note:
Recipe courtesy - Giada De Laurentiis - Everday Italian. This caught my eye mainly for the limoncello liqueur recipe. The cheesecake is a bonus round ;-) The limoncello takes at least 4 days to create so plan ahead!
My Private Note
Units: US | Metric
- nonstick cooking spray
- 8 ounces purchased biscotti
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons grated lemon zest
- 1 (12 ounce) container fresh whole milk ricotta cheese, drained, at room temperature
- 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup limoncello (see recipe below)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs, at room temperature
Limoncello Liqueur (Use 1/2 cup Yields about 8 cups)
- 1Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray the bottom of a 9 by 9 by 2-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- 2Finely grind the biscotti in a food processor. Add the melted butter and 1 tablespoon of lemon zest, and process until the crumbs are moistened. Press the crumb mixture over the bottom (not the sides) of the prepared pan. Bake until the crust is golden, about 15 minutes. Cool the crust completely on a cooling rack.
- 3Blend the ricotta until smooth. Add the cream cheese and sugar and blend well, often scraping down the sides of bowl. Blend in the limoncello, vanilla, and remaining 2 tablespoons of lemon zest. Add the eggs one at a time, and pulse just until blended. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- 4Pour the cheese mixture over the crust in the pan. Place the baking pan in a large roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the baking pan. Bake until the cheesecake is golden and the center of the cake moves slightly when the pan is gently shaken, about 1 hour (the cake will become firm when it is cold).
- 5Transfer the cake to a rack; cool 1 hour. Refrigerate until the cheesecake is cold, at least 8 hours and up to 2 days. Cut the cake into squares and serve.
- 7Using a vegetable peeler, remove the peel from the lemons in long strips (reserve the lemons for another use). Using a small sharp knife, trim away the white pith from the lemon peels; discard the pith. Place the lemon peels in a 2-quart pitcher. Pour the vodka over the peels and cover with plastic wrap. Steep the lemon peels in the vodka for 4 days at room temperature.
- 8Stir the water and sugar in a large saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Cool completely. Pour the sugar syrup over the vodka mixture. Cover and let stand at room temperature overnight. Strain the limoncello through a mesh strainer. Discard the peels. Transfer the limoncello to bottles. Seal the bottles and refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours and up to 1 month.

New hospital gown design - page 2
Hospital debuts patient gown with more coverage ... Read More
1Apr 10, '13 by umcRNWearing a hospital gown was one of the worst things for me being in the hospital, it "marked" me as a patient and I hated it! As soon as I was out of ICU and could get my own clothes on it was off!
Now the new fancy gown won't change that fact of course, I just didn't realize how big an impact wearing a gown would have on me1feistymama likes this. -
0Apr 10, '13 by eatmysoxRNThose look nice. I hate snapping the snaps on the gowns. I'm pretty sure most of my patients consider me incompetent in that regard.
1Apr 11, '13 by VespertinasQuote from MBARNBSNIn the ICU, I always think that one day more things will be wireless and I'll recall the countless hours I spent untangling cordsAlso, it just dawned on me that one day we will be nurses who report to younger nurses that we used to have to hold the back of the gowns closed while steading the patient with one hand as we carried everything else to include pushing the IV poles with medications and pumps in the other. Just working as a nurse as technology improves is making us older!sapphire18 likes this.
1Apr 11, '13 by Bruce_WayneI see people commenting about the poly-blend, all of my scrubs are poly-blend is that why I get a little musky after a long shift? I think you have to use some sort of synthetic fiber for scrubs though because of wrinkles, and permeability. If you get something splashed on you, you want it to go no further than your first layer of scrubs.
For patients that need help scooting up in the bed, if they tie their gowns in the back-bottom, sometimes it pulls and chokes them when we pull them up in the bed. That's not good for patients and can even cause anxiety attacks, so when I sit somebody in the bed and their gown is tied I have the habit of undoing the bottom back tie.Nurse2BeInGA likes this. -
